Organizational Size and Bureaucratic Structure
分析了官僚组织演化中工作流依赖、层级形状、行政强度和控制机制四种结构维度的互动模式,发现组织规模增长伴随三个成长阶段,并基于技术理性构建理想类型与韦伯官僚制理想型比较。
Patterns in the evolutionary development of bureaucratic organization are analysed as functions of the interplay between four structural dimensions: work-flow interdepen dence, hierarchical shape, administrative intensity, and mechanisms of control. Three stages of growth, marked by distinct configurations of these four structural dimensions are associated with increases in organizational size. The growth stages are derived as ideal types which are constructed on the basis of 'technical rationality'. These technically ideal types are compared to Max Weber's bureaucratic ideal-type, and some terminological confusions in the organizational literature are identified.
